Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Parkinson-sasquatch-189 There were many redeeming qualities that gave this movie an aura of adrenaline junky's delight. Unfortunately, there were just as many condemning qualities, counteracting the wow-factor exuded by the surprisingly solid CGI. All in all, I will say the best part of the movie was the CGI. By far not the greatest I have ever seen, but still great enough to make the movie worth seeing for the sole purpose of the scene in which Jason Statham rides the Meg out of the water using a knife as a handle and stabbing the massive beast in the eye with a harpoon. On the other hand, however, the acting in most cases was horrendous. Cheesy dialogue perpetuated by clunky, one-demensional dribble; all of this punctuated by possibly the worst performance of the year (aside from the cast of Slender Man), in Bingbing Li. I hate to harp on it but she ruined ABSOLUTELY EVERY SCENE INCLUDING HER. Conclusively, this movie is worth seeing if you have nothing better to do.

bacondar-58965 I'm a little confused by the hating but have come to realize there are just people who want to hate on something so they stand out in the crowd. Meh, what ev's. I read this book when it first came out in 1997 and have read eagerly all the sequels that followed it. Many times they announce that it was soon to be a major motion picture, or a made for tv movie and so on and every time it fell apart. When I first heard early this year that this was happening I didn't believe it til I saw the first trailer and bounced in my seat in the theater when I saw it finally. People go to these movies thinking it will be something so spiritually uplifting that it will change your life. This and other movies are simply what they are meant to be, a block buster to entertain you and for you to enjoy, nothing more. When you see Transformers, what you are getting is giant space robots kicking other space robots asses. Nothing more. When you go see a shark movie like this, you are getting a shark movie that hopefully will entertain you and you will walk out going that was fun. Was this a full on take of the book? not quite. Was it fairly close, mostly. The actors were fun and the movie was more than enjoyable. Yes there has been some griping recently from actors and the makers saying they wanted to go for a bloodier version but realized in order to be accessible to the masses, they had to tone it down to be PG. When you want to appeal to a broad audience to make money, then you have to unfortunately make some choices. They did and it worked for them as it made more money in it's opening weekend by double than what they predicted. It's fairly hard to make me jump during a movie and this had a couple scenes that made me flinch in surprise so BRAVO for that. I enjoyed it and thought it was a fun summer flick and actually enjoyed the characters and their interactions. I've heard some griping about the Asian actors being put into it to appeal to that demographic, before you say things like that read the source material. That's who they were in the books as well as it does take place in that part of the world. So go with an open mind and expect a fun roller coaster of a ride and know that that's what you will get. This will not be the movie that changes your life, but will make it more fun for a couple hours.

sarahbriggs79 Watched this last night at the cinema. Nothing happens for about 45 minutes really and most action in a out the last 10 minutes of the film. All the good bit have been shown in the trailers and apart from a few laughs (Not the ones the have tried to add but at how bad it is) I really could have given it a miss

geurtsdustin (I saw this in new high tech XD) I went in only expecting some really great shark scenes worthy of today's technology. I in no way expected JAWS or Jurassic Park. But I hoped there would be an intimate scene with the shark that could at least come close to when jaws was flipping around on the boat eating the captain or "The Eye" of the T-Rex with the kids in the car. Nothing. The closest part you get is the one in the trailer when the girl turns around and the shark bites the glass. Everything else is fast and blurry. And the acting is even worse than I expected. Bingbing was especially awful. On a lighter note, Ruby Rose could play a neo-Link in a modern day Zelda movie or some kinda sexy elf....Just sayin... Anyway....
